MORE SHUFFLING
It is painful to sec the shuffling of
the Premier to evade the responsibility
for the incomparable Financial muddle
into which his administration has
thrown the country In his speech on
the proposed amendment to the loan
bill delivered on Tuesday Mr Gibson
in effect declared that the Government
had no policy at all with regard to bor
rowing It was entirely for the House
to say whether the loan act solemnly
passed and approved should be thrown
aside or not The Government could
meet the ordinary expenditure without
borrowing a dollar Such was the
burden of the Premiers speech This
was from a man who only a few days
ago was cheering the Assembly on to
vote appropriations far in excess of the
largest possible revenue Then he was
not in such an economical mood so he
said as during the earlier part of the
session Oh no He was ready to eat
all his loud protestations of a desire to
economize to retrench to borrow only
from our own people through the
Postal Savings Bank Perhips the
public do pot know the reason for this
self stultification this degrading exhibi
tion of outheroding the very worst
acts of the Premiers tortuous record
It will be found in the succeeding
paragraph
Col Spreckels the chief creditor of
the Government acting properly
enough in his own interest and that of
the country besides induced the Min
istry to abandon the project of borrow
ing more money and at the same time
indicated a policy of utilizing and con
serving local sources of revenue without
injuriously hampering the promotion of
necessary public improvements This
good counsel having been adopted the
policy of economy retrenchment and
withal progress was set forth to the
Assembly with a great flourish of
trumpets by the Premier The Oppo
sition applauded and the country re
joiced When however Mr Gibson
announced the Ministrys intention of
dropping the loan bill Mr Kaulukou
went about town openly boasting that
the measure would be passed in spite
of the Ministry For some days prior
to the Ministerial declaration the
agent of certain English capitalists was
in the Kingdom it was generally
understood prepared to offer this Gov
ernment as much money as it wanted
on sufficient security To make provi
sion for treating with the English capi
talists would have to use a common
expression of the time let Spreckels
out Mr Gibson was willing to let
anybpdy out sq long as he was kept in
Therefore within a kw days of his
declaration of retrenchment and
economy and against going abroad to
borrow money the notorious trimmer
is found the willing tool of Mr Kaulu
kou and the party represented by him
in advocating a bill to authorize the
borrowing of two million dollars His
two white colleagues Messrs Creighton
and Dare although owing their posi
tions more directly than Mr Gibson to
Col Spreckels also succumbed to the
pressure with the prime shuffler betray
ing their patron in his absence Their
conduct is partially explained by their
weak attempts to defeat the bill by
having it deferred until the English
agept was obliged to take his departure
without any definite understanding
The native party was however too
powerful and too keen for the success
of this game The loan bill was rushed
through and an agent was hurried
away to overtake the English financial
agent Then Col Spreckels reappears
on the scene Mr Gibson has to
make another change in the tune of the
hurdy gurdy but the instrument has
become badly worn with such repeated
pr fi A-
transformations fHcnce the inharmoni
ous jangle on Tuesday last For years
maintaining his position on the strength
of the most Unctuous professions of
devotion to the sovereign the Premier
is now found wavering between the
Kings policy and the interests of a
capitalist to whom he owes pocket
allegiance A desperate determination
to hold office at any sacrifice of pro
fessions policy or personal dignity is
therefore the secret of the Premiers
unparalleled efforts as a trimmer the
latest of which has bten a gloomy
failure as the sequel shows
THE SEQUEL
The sequel to the foregoing narra
tive is partly to be found in the
account of yesterdays legislative pro
cccdings The abovo and other re
marks elsewhere it may be said were
indited before the culmination of events
which took place last evening In his
Tuesdays speech Mr Gibson instead
of declaring the policy of the Cabinet
headed by him left the vital question
of to borrow or not to borrow to the
judgment of the Legislature Prob
ably he counted upon the native mind
of the Assembly not being able to
fathom the purport of the Govern
ments proposed amendments so that
the latter could be worked through
without great difficulty But when the
crushing judgment of the House was
giVen overthrowing the counsel of him
selfandtwoof his colleagues without
ceremony but with very bitter words
the Premier was so bewildered that he
forgot he had cast himself on the
assembled wisdom of the nation In
stead of meekly accepting the ver
dict he joins his two colleagues
mentioned in fighting Mr Aholos
amendments meetinc with another
adverse vote tor his pains Messrs
Creighton and Dare were for
accepting the judgment of the house
in its full significance at once but by
all accounts Mr Gibson was desirous
of clinging to office to the very last
ditch But his temporizing has it
seems been unavailing for unless the
statements circulating last night were
premature a new Ministry will meet
the Legislature this morning The ex
periment of a native Hawaiian Cabinet
throughout is to be tried only time can
show with what result
NOTES AND J COMMENTS
Mr Nahale who has been one of
the most docile supporters of the Gov
ernment throughout the session is ad
verted to by the Advertiser as a mem
ber of the Opposition Is this an ad
mission on the part of the Government
that the Opposition party which it
fears is the Court party Or is it a cool
attempt of the organ to screen from
the public the truenature of the little
episode on the loan bill amendment
the other day
Bishop Willis head of the Anglican
Church in this Kingdom has written a
forcible letter to the Advertise show
ing from indisputable authorities that
one of the leading effects of opium is
to diminish population He concludes
by asking if the advocates of the present
measure much more might he ask
il the advocates of a less restrictive
measure including the Advertiser and
the Minister of Foreign Affairs realize
that the passage of the bill is jn direct
antagonism to the inaugural watchword
of the King Increase the people by
bringing in a source of ruin to the life
and increase of the nation more fatal
than leprosy itself
